Everyone looked at each other, and a few brave students snorted coldly, raised their luck, jumped on the lake first, stepped on the waves, and disappeared into the white mist in a blink of an eye.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, some people are willing to be the first bird, and the students in the back naturally have the courage to jump onto the lake and sweep forward.

The next wave of people was about to step forward, and suddenly heard the ghost crying wolf howl of the students in the white mist, and then the sound of falling water sounded.

Tie Niu turned a blind eye to everything and asked, "Big brother, shall we go?"

Xu Daoyun said with a smile: "Don't worry, let them go to the mine detection first, and we will follow behind." ”

"Good. Iron Bull nodded.

At this time, Zhao Sijie walked up from nowhere, stared at the white mist neon, and said cautiously: "There are strange things in this lake, if not, it will not easily fall into the water." ”

Xu Daoyun nodded in agreement: "Yes, since this is a test, it will never be so simple." ”

There was gradually no movement in the white mist, and all the students stared at each other, and no one dared to act as a leading bird again, because there was only one chance, and it was really sloppy.

No one was willing to step forward for a long time, Xu Daoyun twisted his neck, turned his head sideways and said: "Lord Zhao Qi, Tie Niu, it's better for the three of us to go together, if we encounter any accidents, we can also help each other, how about it?"

"Good. "Tie Niu is still what Xu Daoyun says.

Zhao Sijie thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The three of them walked forward under the gaze of all the students, jumped on the neon ze, and rushed into the white mist.

The students still didn't move, they wanted to see how the situation of these three people was before making a decision.

The visibility in the white fog was extremely low, and Xu Daoyun could only barely see things within two feet in front of him, and suddenly a black shadow passed by in the water, startling Xu Daoyun.

Zhao Sijie also sensed that something was wrong, "There is something underwater." ”

Xu Daoyun said: "Don't be afraid, no matter what he is, if he dares to do anything, the master will not be able to spare him." ”

As soon as the words fell, suddenly the water not far away exploded, and seven or eight vines rose from the water and swept towards the three of them.

Xu Daoyun was not in a hurry, the Chonghe sword in the sword box made a loud sword sound, rushed out of the sword box, turned into an arc of light and swept out, and with one sword, all the trees and vines were cut off and fell into the water.

But before the matter was over, there was another splash in front of him, and a towering giant tree blocked the way, and countless vines were intertwined.

Xu Daoyun's left hand turned into a sword finger, and the Chonghe sword turned into an arc and flew in front of him, he stepped on the sword and jumped up, recalled the Chonghe sword back into his hand, and the luck entered the sword, compressing the sword qi to the extreme, and then shouted, and a sword swung out: "Wind and rain!"

I saw a sword qi as thin as a gossamer making a piercing sound of breaking the sky, slashing towards the towering giant tree.

Countless vines coiled and intertwined, trying to resist the sword qi, but they were cut off by this sword qi as thin as a cow's hair like chopping melons and vegetables, and then the remaining momentum was undiminished, slashing on the trunk of the tree, and when he landed, he cut the towering giant tree in half, fell down, splashed the sky, and slowly sank into the water.

Xu Daoyun landed on the water, put the Chonghe sword into the sword box, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "I thought it would be some kind of monster, it turned out to be just a trap tree." ”

Before the words fell, they heard the sound of the water exploding, and the three of them looked around, only to see seven or eight trees rising from the water, surrounding them.

Xu Daoyun saw that Zhao Sijie's expression was extremely cautious, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao doesn't need to worry, with me and Tie Niu here, everything will be left to us." ”

With that, he summoned his sword again, swept towards several trap trees on the left, dodged to avoid the vines that rolled in, and fell with his sword in his hand, cutting off the vines.

Zhao Sijie hurriedly said: "Tie Niu, go and help Xu Daoyun." ”

Tie Niu didn't answer, took off the red bow from his back with his backhand, tightened the bowstring like a full moon, loosened his fingers, and shot out an arrow condensed by true qi, which easily shattered the vine, and then passed through the trunk, leaving a hole, and the hole began to crack outward, and finally the entire machine tree was shattered and fell into the water.

Zhao Sijie was taken aback, she had never seen such a powerful bow.

I saw that Tie Niu fired a few more bows, destroying all the four trap trees on the right, and at the same time, Xu Daoyun also solved the trap tree on the left side, shouting: "Don't delay, go over as soon as possible." ”

"Okay!" Zhao Sijie and Tie Niu agreed in unison, and Tabo followed.

Xu Daoyun was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly saw the water splashes behind him explode one after another, and a familiar voice was surrounded by seven or eight machine trees in the middle, and he was embarrassed to avoid the attack of the tree vines, and he was about to fall into the water without being able to support it.

Xu Daoyun said: "Tie Niu, you take Zhao Qi Master to go first, and I will go back when I go." ”

With that, he stepped on the surface of the water and swept out.

Tie Niu said loudly: "Big brother, I'm here to help you." ”

"Be obedient, escort the Zhao Banner Master, and the eldest brother will come later. ”

Tie Niu had no choice but to stop and said, "Lord Zhao Qi, let's go." ”

"Hmm. Zhao Sijie nodded, and swept forward with the iron bull.

At this time, Su Yuzhu was surrounded by seven trap trees, and thousands of vines rolled towards her in unison. She barely resisted with her sword, but she lost sight of one or the other, and without paying attention, she was caught in her ankles and thrown into the air and thrown into the water.

Su Yuzhu fell from the sky, her heart was full of unwillingness, she couldn't even pass the first level, but she couldn't break free from the vines, so she could only close her eyes and resign herself to fate.

Suddenly, a loud and brisk sword sound sounded, and then Su Yuzhu felt his ankle loosen, and when he looked down, he saw that the tree vines wrapped around his ankles had been cut off, and an arc of light rose into the sky, dancing out a sword net to shatter all the vines that were rolled up.

Su Yuzhu was stunned, and suddenly felt that the back collar was lifted, she suddenly came back to her senses, adjusted her body and landed on the water, looked back, and exclaimed: "Xu Daoyun?"

Xu Daoyun grinned, and the arc light that Chong He Sword turned into circled around, destroying all seven trap trees, splashing the sky, and then flying back into his hands, "Miss Su, are you okay?"

Su Yuzhu shook his head, "No... It's okay. ”

"Let's go if it's okay, it's not good to stay here for a long time. Xu Daoyun led Su Yuzhu and ran forward, and the imperial envoy Chong and the sword resisted all the vines that tried to drag the two into the water.

After running on the water for a long time, suddenly a tall figure appeared in the white mist, Xu Daoyun's ears moved, and he called: "Tie Niu, why are you here, didn't I ask you to protect the Zhao Qi Lord?"

Running in the white mist was indeed an iron bull with a body like an iron tower, and when he saw that Xu Daoyun was fine, he put his mind at ease, scratched his head and smiled: "Big brother, I have already sent Lord Zhao Qi ashore." ”

"Well done. Xu Daoyun praised him, looked sideways at the back, and muttered to himself: "It's strange, why didn't you see Miss Huang and Dengwu." ”

The three of them walked through the white fog and finally came to the shore.

Xu Daoyun took off the wine gourd and drank it, then threw it to Tie Niu, and said, "Tie Niu, have you seen Huang Yanyao all the way?"

Tie Niu said: "I seem to have seen Miss Huang by the Si River." ”

Su Yuzhu on the side hesitated again and again, and finally walked up, bit his lower lip, and said in a low voice: "Thank you." ”

Xu Daoyun waved his hand and said, "You're polite, I can't take your sword book for nothing, right?"

At this time, the middle-aged *** on the giant ship waved his hand and threw down dozens of jade slips on a high platform, and said: "With this jade slip, you go to each house to test, more choices, less choices, do you understand?"

The disciples bowed down in thanks, followed a path, through a forest, to the rolling hills in front of the mountain, and then scattered as birds and beasts.

Xu Daoyun pinched the jade slip and asked, "Which one are you going to go to?"

Zhao Sijie said without hesitation: "Legalist." ”

Su Yuzhu also said: "I am also a Legalist. ”

Tie Niu said: "Where the eldest brother goes, I will go." ”

Xu Daoyun grinned and was about to speak, when suddenly a woman's voice came from behind him, "I'll talk about it after I think it clearly." ”

The four of them turned their heads to look, only to see a naked suit, heroic and beautiful Chen Rui walking from the forest.

Xu Daoyun and the three of them hurriedly bowed their hands, "I've seen Lord Zongqi." ”

Su Yuzhu ran up, hugged Chen Rui's arm, and said with a smile: "Sister Chen Rui, why are you here." ”

Chen Rui said: "Today is a big day for the selection of hundreds of schools, as a disciple of the Legalists, of course I have to come and take a look, but what I didn't expect is that you, this girl, can actually pass through the neon Ze's mechanism array, to be honest, cheat from time to time?"

Su Yuzhu's beautiful eyes widened, and he said hurriedly: "I... I didn't!"

Chen Rui looked at her with a smile, "Really not?"

"No!" Su Yuzhu's tone was obviously starting to feel weak.

Chen Rui chuckled, then looked at Xu Daoyun, and said meaningfully: "This naked suit is not so easy to wear." ”

Xu Daoyun smiled bitterly: "This... Lord Zongqi, aren't you embarrassed for me? ”

Chen Rui smiled and asked, "What is it difficult for you?"

Xu Daoyun said: "My subordinates have already made up their minds in their hearts, thank you for your advice." ”

Chen Rui sneered, passed by Xu Daoyun, and said to Zhao Sijie and Su Yuzhu: "You two, come with me." ”

The two girls agreed in unison and hurriedly followed.

Xu Daoyun sighed and said to Tie Niu: "Tie Niu, the reason why my eldest brother wants to go to Taoism is because my cultivation of mental and swordsmanship is a Taoist method, and I go to Taoism to strive for excellence and go further, but it may not be suitable for you." When we enter a hundred schools of practice, the purpose of which is to enhance our cultivation and improve ourselves, of course, we must choose a cultivation method that suits us, don't you say?"

Tie Niu thought thoughtfully, then nodded heavily and said, "I listen to the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will go to wherever he asks me to go." ”

Xu Daoyun said with a smile: "You are tall, born with divine power, imposing, carrying a long halberd and a red bow, like a general galloping across the battlefield, such a unique talent, if you don't join the army, wouldn't it be a pity?"

Tie Niu comprehended, pushed to the end, and walked towards the Tiger Swallowing Mountain, where the soldier's house was located, looking back three times in one step, reluctantly.

When Tie Niu went away, Xu Daoyun also felt lonely, these days, with Tie Niu day and night, he had long been used to it, and now he was suddenly separated, and he felt really uncomfortable.

He sighed and remembered the sentence "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny." "Reinvigorate your spirits and walk towards Longnan Peak, where the Taoist is located.

It is said that everything has a way, Taoism is known as the three thousand avenues, the infinite path, no matter who you are, you can find a path of cultivation that suits you, so Taoism is also the most inclusive one.

Therefore, almost every student will take Taoism as one of their goals, because even if other families can't get by, they can also go to Taoism to try their luck.

Xu Daoyun walked through the trail, went up to Longnan Peak, and just walked halfway up the mountain, the surrounding clouds and mist rose, everything around him was reduced to nothing, the sky and the earth were silver-white, and there was almost no variegation.

Xu Daoyun realized that this might be the test of Taoism, he continued to walk forward, and suddenly stepped on the air, and the whole person fell, and there was no stone wall around him that could support climbing, so he kept falling straight and straight.

I don't know how much distance I fell, suddenly Xu Daoyun stepped on something under his feet, he looked down, it turned out to be a thumb-thick rope, the rope front and back are not many meters, on both sides are thousands of cliffs, bottomless, and vaguely can hear the roar of wild beasts in the abyss.

Xu Daoyun took a deep breath, stood firm first, and then walked step by step towards the white mist in front of him.

After walking for a while, the things around him remained unchanged, and the rope seemed to have no end, extending into the thick white mist.

After walking for a long time, he still didn't come to the end, and now Xu Daoyun felt that something was wrong. He had a plan, took out a red rope and tied it to the rope under his feet, and then continued to walk forward, and not long after, he saw that the red rope that should have been behind him actually appeared in front of him.

At this time, in a ventilated front hall on all sides of the mountain in front of Longnan Peak, an old man in a Taoist robe was drinking wine, occasionally opened one eye to look at the water mirror in mid-air, and said with a smile: "This kid is smart, he can see the clue so quickly." ”

In the water mirror in front of the old Taoist, it was Xu Daoyun's figure that was reflected, "I want to see how you kid can break this maze." ”

Xu Daoyun, who saw through the trick, no longer walked forward stupidly, he stopped where he was and began to think about how to cross the rope bridge.

Beside the old Taoist, a young Taoist priest asked, "Master, how long do you think he will be able to break the formation?"

The old Taoist priest shook his head, "I can't say, just with a good brain, it's not enough to think about this level, it depends on whether his heart and will are firm." ”

The young Taoist priest chuckled, his face suddenly changed, and he pointed to the water mirror in mid-air and said, "Master, look, what is he going to do?"

The old Taoist priest looked up, only to see Xu Daoyun holding a long sword like a cold moon, cutting the rope with a sword, and the picture in the water mirror turned around, revealing the stone steps of Longnan Peak.

The young Taoist priest exclaimed, "Master, can he break the formation halfway?"

The old Taoist priest said disappreliantly: "It's just a little skill, why make a fuss." ”

Although he said this, he was very happy in his heart, and secretly decided that he would definitely admit Xu Daoyun into the Taoist family, and he would never let him go to another house.

"Apprentice, it's almost time, go and greet your junior disciples. ”
